TGIF, Pop Readers! It's my last day here at Pop Candy, and I've had a blast this week‚?¶so I've got to make this last Early Buzz COUNT.

Hmm, how could I do that? How about by starting off with an exclusive clip from Cartoon Network's Emmy-winning Regular Show's Christmas special, which airs Monday.

In this episode, Ed Asner plays a very different version of one of his most famous roles ‚?? and gives the surreal slackers of the park a mission to save Christmas!

I've seen an advance of this episode, and it is crazy even by Regular Show standards ‚?? there are gunfights, hoverboards, bear-wrestling and lots of falling down trap doors onto slides. You can see it for yourself Monday at 8 p.m. EST on Cartoon Network.

And here's an exclusive-within-a-buzz: Neil Gaiman's announced a BBC4 radio version of his TV series and novel Neverwhere with James McAvoy, Christopher Lee and Benedict Cumberbatch‚?¶

‚?¶wait a minute, Sherlock Holmes, spy movies, multiple period pieces, now a Neil Gaiman fantasy‚?¶it's official: Benedict Cumberbatch is now THE MOST BRITISH PERSON OF ALL TIME. And for that, we must give him an award!

We're proud to present this award to Mr. Cumberbatch, courtesy of artist Michael Troy, a pop-culture cartoonist responsible for The Blonde Squad, Going Gaga! and most recently Honey Boo Boo for Bluewater Productions. You can find him on Twitter @MichaelFitzTroy.

Community's Alison Brie (wistful sigh) shares a video from a recent fashion shoot and dances a Charleston. Sometimes I'm not sure whom I'm more in love with, her or her castmate Gillian Jacobs. These feelings are confusing for me.

On another Community note, it looks like there's a Community convention coming together. In an effort to avoid more creepy Alison Brie/Gillian Jacobs jokes, I'll just go out on a limb and assume Chevy Chase won't be in attendance.

Sundance's 2013 lineup, which features its biggest selection of female directors to date, has been announced. Scroll down to the bottom to see a list of the films ‚?? and let me know what you think looks good in the comments!

Stephen Baldwin, meanwhile, has come out in support of Angus T. Jones and explained how his faith has messed with his career because he's, well, Stephen Baldwin.

Here's a thorough summary of the controversy over a mind-meltingly dumb "Superheroes You'd Most Want to Have Sex With" list posted by the director of Marvel's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film (and the underrated Super with Rainn Wilson). The list was apparently intended in jest, but it's still pretty gross.

The piano from Casablanca is up for auction and could fetch up to $1.2 million. I just want one of the "Ziggy" handlinks from Quantum Leap, the Power Glove used in The Wizard, or the cape from TV's The Cape (six seasons and a movie!). Those things just feel obtainable. That reminds me, I need to bug my friends who work on Supernatural to see if they can get me Dean's amulet or Ruby's demon-killin' knife.
